Found a thread on here about 18 mos ago, about this. I got some blue reflectors & Marine adhesive. Worked good, but a few still came up. Not sure why some did, & most didn't...

Have you considered alternatives? We just replaced 30 year old FRP panels covering cinderblocks. It was a relatively easy prep and installation and should require less maintenance than an epoxy coating going forward.

I attached my Blue Reflectors with Hammer Drive Anchor with Stainless Steel Nail in the center and Marine-grade adhesive.
Make sure your walls are prepped well for epoxy. If you know what type of paint was used prior on the walls, it would be good info to relay to the sales rep. Ours told us that applying to epoxy on certain types of paint will actually cause the old paint to lose adhesion with time and will begin to peel off the old paint along with the new, its all in the prep work. With that being said, we sandblasted one of our locations and still only got a good 3 years out of paint. This is the main reason we use wall paneling everywhere we possibly can. We are currently using Sherwin Williams Waterbased Acrolon 100, its a waterbased urethane, for exterior walls and so far it looks good but time will tell.
